Air Peace has boosted its regional operations with the introduction of night flights out of Lagos, Accra, Banjul and Dakar.
A statement signed by the carrier’s Corporate Communications Manager, Mr. Chris Iwarah quoted the Chief Operating Officer, Mrs. Oluwatoyin Olajide as saying the new flights were part of the airline’s strategy to make air travel on the West Coast of Africa seamless and more beneficial.
Olajide described that night flights, which commenced from the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos on Sunday, as a relief for business and leisure travellers on the West Coast looking to utilise their trips to transact their business unrushed.
“We keep reviewing our regional operations in line with our promise to provide seamless, on-time and comfortable flight services.
Whatever the travel needs of our esteemed guests, we want to be able to provide a service that fits their plans.
“We have been operating on the West Coast of Africa for more than a year and a half. One thing we have come to realise is that a lot of persons like to travel at night and get to their destinations on time to do their transactions in a calm, unhurried and fruitful manner.
This is the interest we are catering to with the introduction of night flights.
We want our valued guests to arrive at their destinations, go about their business as they wish and still have enough time to prepare for their return trips.
“This is just the beginning of the new innovations and win-win travel options we are bringing to air travel on the West Coast of Africa.
We value our guests and are always ready to make our flight schedules and timings as comfortable as possible for them”, she said.
Speaking on the development, a passenger on the night flight from Dakar to Lagos, Nchang Damarisambem said the option met her desire to arrive Lagos on time and continue her onward journey to Calabar for her transaction.
The flight, she said, was a pleasant experience. She pleaded with Air Peace to extend its operations to Younde, Cameroun, her country to give the people an opportunity of experiencing its spectacular flight services.
Another passenger on the Dakar-Lagos flight, Turay Fatmataba said she preferred the night option for long-distance travel.
She said the night flight was an easier option for her to get to Freetown, her final destination.
